I have mixed feelings about Jaime & Cara being Philiminated. On the one hand, I had liked them -- or tried to like them -- during Season 14 and I still like Cara. On the other hand, I don't really like Jaime. But at least it isn't Ron & Christina -- they're still around!

It will be interesting to see whether or not Ron+Chris fight like they did early on in TAR 12 or if they have learned their lesson and have stopped fighting like they did later in TAR 12. I wonder if Ron is in better shape now.

Looking back Luke was such a bitch. He elbow,pushed,Cursed,tricked,almost ride a bike into Kisha and Jenthan lie about it

1. The first one was kind of Jen's fault. Although to be fair, Luke and Margie also reacted wrongly. 2. The second one, was the fault of both of them, Luke and Jen were running, Luke "accidentally" pushed Jen, and Jen got angry. 3. The bike incident, sounds kind of fudgy too me. Note, Luke is deaf. He couldn't hear the bell from Jen's bike. So he couldn't react in time. Of course, he could have taken evasive measures earlier, but we don't know. For all we know, Jen pushed Luke

Ugh. So CBS have decided to mislead everyone and feature teams in the promo for the upcoming season that haven't been reported to be racing. With Brook and Clarie taking the majority of the airtime.

I thought they would. I actually have read an article now where people are excited to see Brook & Claire back. Of course I had to break the news to them that its not true.

Yeah, this pretty much reminds me of what happened 4 years ago with Ken/Gerard & Jon/Al. Pretty much both seasons were in the middle of taping during the finale of the preceding season. Therefore, they really couldn't show anything from the All-Star seasons (if they wanted to and didn't feel the need to "tease" the home audience). It wasn't like for TAR7 & TAR9 (during the Rob/Amber & return of the teams-of-two race) where they showed clips of the upcoming season, as both those races had ended prior to the AR6 & AR8 finales, respectively.

Anyway, the fact that they showed us racers that aren't on the season was typical. However, like in 2006, I'm not saying a word to those that think certain racers will be on TAR18. I don't think it's as bad as last time where some of those most popular teams were not chosen but they ended up in the post-TAR10 clip anyway.

Winning isn't everything, but it isn't considered nothing either. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a tribal council, a pit-stop, a boardroom, dimming of the lights, and so on

Well, they threw in at least one shot of about 26 teams (if I counted right), so it seems pretty clear that not all of them would be in Season 18. Although I agree with you that Brook and Claire got most of the airtime...but I think CBS had wanted them on S18 anyway.

Idk if this is important but on his facebook page Kent said : " Going to post some VERY interesting news this week over at: http://www.facebook.com/KentKaliber ......be sure to "LIKE" my page over there ;-)"

I've posted the full article and image in the TAR in the Media thread, but here's the link to the full online USA Today article announcing the teams of TAR 18:Unifinished Business, along with some new details about the start line and start task:
